I hear that DVDs are designed to wear out

155.218.88.2

What the f#ck is this? Last time I heard DVDs were meant to rid the world of laser rot. Must everything undergo planned obsolescence?

When I asked the store personel why their DVDs were all beginning to s#ck, they informed me that they wear out. In fact, they've bought the same titles several times since they play continuously. Sure enough, I looked at the offending DVDs & the surface looks positively new. No finger prints, no haze, & no scratches. However, since the bits are substantially smaller than CDs, I buffed it anyway in case the problems are invisible to naked eye inspection to no avail. The pictures still looks like a bad satellite feed.

Just when DVDs are getting DVDO progressive scan & 3:2 pull-down & 12 bit video processing at useable rate & with 3-D DNR, which convinced me to buy as soon as I found these features in a single player. Then, this DIVX-esque news hits the fan.

....just my 2¢
